Poll: Cooperation in Videogames

[Michael Hirst]

Some of my most fun experiences on videogames have been in co-op. Streets of Rage 2 its a great game but quite frankly I can get bored after 3 or so levels alone, with a bro though it's so much better especially when you "accidently" use your friend as a missile to knock down a group of enemies.

Co-op is also the only reason I still play Dynasty Warriors at all. Just something about having a bro to play with and compete for kill counts with is great.

Timesplitters games were always much more fun on 2 player, even the story modes improved vastly just by having a friend with you. I don't even like Halo but co-op'ing the story mode is something I've always done with friends.

NOTE: Co-op play is always better when you're in the same room, split screen might narrow your view but actually socialising with a person makes up for any view on screen that's lost.

I'm not a "loner" or "people hater" or anything along those lines but I hate co-op.

I enjoy it when I play MMO's and games along those lines but when I buy a game I usually buy it to relax on my own and chill out for a bit. I don't want anyone else in my game just me, my weapons and some NPC's to beat/shoot in the face.

I love co-op in games, although with public groups (*cough* *cough*, Dead Island, *cough* *cough*) it's pretty much non-existent.

It's great if you have a group of friends, or just a group of people you game with often, but public... no chance.

Co-Op is good in theory, its the people that make it bad (unless of course the developers screw it up blah blah blah) and anyone who plays/played Left4Dead/2 without friends knows exactly what I am talking about

You've basically read my mind and wrote it on here for me. Thank you.
